Has anyone tried Korean bush cherries? I harvested my first handful last year. They tasted great, very sweet. It’s a bush, so it doesn’t need much space.

No but I'm intrigued, especially if a fellow Missouri grower has success with them. There are so many bush cherry types!
Do you know if yours is a hybrid? I'm seeing Korean bush as Prunus japonica, which has hybrids called Meader Bush Cherries. Curious where you sourced yours.

I just have one Prunus cerasus x P. fruticosa "Carmine Jewel Bush Cherry" and couple Prunus cerasus "North Star Pie Cherry" that I'm waiting to mature.

I will have to dig around for the tags, but the plant descriptions said the Korean cherry was the sweet one. I have one other. It is a bigger cherry but tart. It wasn’t one of the sweet Romance Series cherries.

I planted a very small Korean cherry plant and grows slowly. It’s about three feet tall and about three years old.  It blooms a little early for this part of Missouri. I covered it a few times this year and last. It has been very healthy with no care.

Not sure if this is where is bought them, but this is a good company.  https://onegreenworld.com/product/korean-bush-cherry-2/
